There is a $15.00 administration fee per child for all non-Iowa Medicaid children receiving vaccinations through our immunization clinics. We accept cash, check, credit or debit cards for payment at this time. In addition, we are unable to accept children with Hawk-I coverage. These children should be taken to their physician for immunizations.

Child Adolescent Health Program

The Child Health CARE for KIDS Program can help children and families who are enrolled in Medicaid. The focus of the program is to assure that eligible children birth to 21 years of age receive preventive health care services, including oral health care. Iowa’s Early and Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment (EPSDT) health maintenance recommendations provide the guidelines for care.

CARE for KIDS helps children and families access preventive health care by offering these services:

Provide education to all newly eligible Medicaid clients about how their healthcare coverage will provide for both preventive and ill healthcare

Help families with finding a doctor or dentist for their medical and dental care

Help families with housing, food, energy assistance, parenting programs, and referrals to community resources and services

Reminders when your child needs routine medical and dental check-ups

Provide health education and support on a variety of topics

Contact families to provide care coordination

Arrange transportation to Medicaid approved appointments

Provide translation for services

Provide presumptive eligibility (determination that allows children likely to be Medicaid eligible to receive Medicaid while a formal eligibility determination is being made through Department of Human Services)
